SOAP is truly one of the best comedies of all time! Gigantic actors (well acted as well), Gargantuan comedic timing, and large place twists. So before I go any further, the expose itself is a 5++ star rating. This review is not about the point to, but how the DVD station that is NOT COMPLETE and how the Studio who develop this (Sony/Columbia Tristar) have shown an injustice to a substantial T.V. Prove.
As mentioned by a reviewer before me….the packaging is the worst of it’s kind. I already have the seasons sets (which the packaging is 100 times better), but I wanted to check the modern complete series (online reviews and at Best Take) to perceive if there is anything new/extra and or different than the season sets. The packaging is VERY FLIMSY. And it is as described by the prior reviewer in a spiral format (like you remove blank DVD’s or CDs) . Even tvshowsondvd.com gave it the worst packaging ever (witness the following link for details on how poor the packaging is: [...] )

In addition to the terrible packaging, both, the complete series and the individual season sets, the episodes have been carve. Each episode should hasten approximately 25 minutes…..some episodes have been gash down to 22-23 minutes. Why is this? Frankly, I don’t know why? The reason I do know they have been slash is I originally bought the VHS tapes from Columbia House years ago, and they were in the current ABC broadcast originate. In particular to the first season, there broken-down to be a “parental discretion” by the announcer in the beginning of the display. Also, there is a scene in the first season with Jody (Billy Crystal) who is trying on Mary’s clothes. That scene has been lop short. The only thing I can mediate of why it was slice, is Jody is singing something while looking in the mirror (possible music rights? How petty can this be? ) . But these episodes, in both the complete series and the individual season sets are NOT COMPLETE!!! For casual buyer of t.v. series, this may not bother you. But if you are a die hard fan of the note, like me, you may be very disappointed. I suggest if you want the UNCUT VERSION of the series, peek for the Columbia House Videos (there were a total of 23 videos) on Ebay and transfer them on DVD yourself.
Another dilemma, and the most annoying of all, is there are three 90 cramped summer specials that are missing. These specials were between season shows that featured Jessica (Katherine Helmond) and another character conversing about the season before (a clip explain) . ABC exhaust to air these in the summer before the fresh season started to salvage the audience up to date. Because these specials were not included in the individual season sets, I concept, this Complete Series dwelling would have them. NOT A CHANCE. They are the same actual discs as the individual season sets. Nothing is changed but the packaging. And even the season sets have only two extras (2nd Season Status Only) . A very lame interview with the writers of the indicate and the pilot episode reprise (Hello, the pilot episode was on the First season region….why do we need it again on the 2nd season plot??? ) In any case, the 90 diminutive specials would have been sizable addition for extras to this astonishing demonstrate. Only 2 of the 90 runt sp ecials can be found on VHS. The 1st 90 itsy-bitsy special (the summer special between the 1st and 2nd season), was released on VHS only and it’s called “The Best Of Soap: Who Killed Peter? “. This is where Burt visits Jessica in her jail cell after being found guilty of Peter’s abolish and they go over each character (thru clips) of who could have killed Burt’s son, Peter. Another 90 microscopic special can be found on VHS only as well, (the summer special between the 3rd and 4th season) . The VHS was released with the title name: “The Best Of Soap: Jessica’s Extraordinary Life”. This is where Jessica, after being in a coma, goes to heaven and visits an Angel (played by “Golden Girl” Bea Arthur) . Jessica explains to the angel (once again thru clips) why she can’t die and her family needs her. The only 90 microscopic special that is not on VHS or DVD is the summer explain between the 2nd and 3rd season. This is where Jessica says goodbye to Benson (the butler, played by Robert Guillaume) who leaves the reveal to star in acquire series “Benson”. Jessica, once again, thru clips, converses with Benson about the events of the season before, and why he needs to pause. Ironically enough, Mr. Guillaume went to star in his enjoy exhibit after this, however, he did advance benefit in the first 3-4 episodes of the 3rd season. His return to Soap was to decide a residence which enthusiastic saving the Tate’s son Billy from a cult group called the Sunnies (Side note: this is a classic scene which featured Benson, Chester, the Major and Detective Donahue as the step brothers…hilarious!) There is a scene in the beginning of the third season when Benson returns and Jessica shouts out “Benson, your befriend!”. This may have confused some people who peruse the DVD’s wondering “Relieve from where? “. Later, Benson says goodbye for the second time during the 3rd season. These specials should have been on this release, but once again, the studios have disappointed the fans of this titanic sh ow!!
All and All, the display is quiet terrific (A Golden Classic) and it deserves 5 stars in itself. But there is two many wrongs with releasing the DVD’s under fraudulent pretenses by the Studio. The episodes are not complete, the packaging (for the Complete Series only) stinks, and they are missing out on 3 of the 90 cramped specials that would COMPLETE the entire hasten of the series. For the release of this DVD and the Studio who released it, only 1 star! As for the buyers out there, if your only a casual fan of the series, it’s resplendent, but grasp the individual season sets. the packaging is so mighty better. Do not lift this one…you will eventually have to repackage the DVD’s yourself because they will easily accumulate scratched. If you are a completest die hard fan of the exhibit, either seize the complete unedited episodes on VHS tapes from Ebay or some other website and transfer them on DVD yourself OR wait for the Studio to wise up and collect the Genuine COMPLETE Site (Unedited episodes and the 90 tiny specials) when they offer the series in another release. I will glean off my SOAP box now!! I hope this helps the buyers out there. Thanks for reading.
This is a huge notice for one of the best comedic shows of the seventies. It includes all four seasons and ends with the unresolved cliffhanger at the destroy of season four. For this alone I would give the state four or five stars but the packaging is so infantile and unpleasant that I actually recommend NOT buying this area and waiting for the individual seasons to fall in notice or go on sale. The packaging is a cardboard slipcase that contains what basically amounts to a molded plastic spindle (like you would acquire a pack of 50 blanks) that fits in the cardboard box. The discs are all stacked on top of each other! There’s no episode guide. Nothing. This is as about as far as you can rob “No Frills” without objective putting the discs in paper sleeves. I’m actually going to consume blank DVD cases and scan the camouflage to beget my bear cases. Procure the series for this mammoth effect but only if you dare.
